Ice hockey? Sure. Tonsil hockey? Not so fast!

When it comes to Valentine's Day costar Taylor Lautner, Taylor Swift is choosing her words – and well-timed giggles – carefully.

The 19-year-old singer sat down with Ellen DeGeneres for an interview that is set to air Thursday, and found herself on the hot seat. After establishing that Swift shares scenes with the Twilight hottie in the upcoming romantic comedy, DeGeneres shows a picture of them kissing.


"What's happening there. Is that part of the movie?" asks the talkshow host. Swift confirms it's an on-screen smooch, but later gets chided for playing "coy" when pressed on whether Lautner is a "good kisser."

Swift, who performed on the 35-year-old satirical program in January, will be hosting for the first time, an opportunity she calls "mind-blowing," according to a statement. She adds, "I love being around people who I feel have a different kind of creative genius. And the funny genius is definitely a fascinating one to be around."
